Shaping the future: Our strategy for research and innovation in humanitarian response.
UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) contamination has affected more than 70 countries since the 1960s. UXOs and mines claim an estimated 15000-25000 casualties every year where 80% of the victims are civilians. UXO detection is a costly, labour intensive and dangerous process; t
he cost of removal is estimated at US$300-US$1000 per UXO/ mine. Current methods of identification involve manually scanning areas of land with handheld metal detectors or by towing a rig of equipment. These methods often generate false positive data and waste valuable time and resources. This project sought to improve the safety, productivity and quality of the UXO detection process.
The final project report provides information on the methodology, activities, outputs, impact and dissemination of learning.
